Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

That's what building a body of work is all about. It's about the daily labor, the many individual acts, the choices large and small that add up over time, over a lifetime to a lasting legacy. It's about not being satisfied with the latest achievement, the latest gold star, because the one thing I know about a body of work is that it's never finished. It's cumulative. It deepens and expands with each day you give your best. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You haven't even started.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009

Acts of sacrifice and decency without regard to what's in it for you create ripple effects. Ones that lift up families and communities, that spread opportunity and boost our economy.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009

I know starting careers in troubled times is a challenge, but it is also a privilege. Because it's moments like these that force us to try harder, dig deeper and to discover gifts we never knew we had. To find the greatness that lies within each of us. So don't ever shy away from that endeavor. Don't stop adding to your body of work. I can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort as will be this nation that we all love.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009

- More quotations on: [Success]
My success has depended wholly on putting things over on people, so I'm not sure that I'm that great a role model. I am, however, an expert on pretending to be an expert on pretending to be an expert.: Meryl Streep (1949 - ), Barnard Commencement Speech, 2010

One is obliged to do a great deal of kissing in my line of work: air kissing, [butt] kissing, kissing up, and of course actual kissing. Much like hookers, actors have to do it with people we may not like or even know.: Meryl Streep (1949 - ), Barnard Commencement Speech, 2010
- More quotations on: [Acting]
Women are better at acting then men. Why? Because we have to be. If successfully convincing someone bigger than you are of something he doesn't want to know is a survival skill, this is how women have survived through the millennia.: Meryl Streep (1949 - ), Barnard Commencement Speech, 2010

Pretending is not just play. Pretending is imagined possibility. Pretending, or acting, is a very valuable life skill and we do it all the time.: Meryl Streep (1949 - ), Barnard Commencement Speech, 2010

We change who we are to fit the exogenous of our time, and not just strategically or to our own advantage, sometimes sympathetically without our even knowing it for the betterment of the whole group.: Meryl Streep (1949 - ), Barnard Commencement Speech, 2010
Empathy is at the heart of the actor's art.: Meryl Streep (1949 - ), Barnard Commencement Speech, 2010
